Hansen and Jensen in Minnesota

new on Ancestry.com - Minnesota Territorial and State Censuses, 1849-1905: "Minnesota inhabitants were first enumerated in the Michigan Territory 1820 census and the 1836 census of the Wisconsin Territory. A census of the Minnesota Territory was ordered in 1849, which included the name of head of household and number of males and females in that household.

The 1849 census includes St. Croix and 1850 includes Benton, Dakota, Itasca, Mankatah, Pembina, Ramsey, Wabashaw, Wahnahta, and Washington."

I often see Minnesota as a destination for scandinavian migrants in ships lists somade a couple of test searches:-
